Translations:Wavelets - Chapter 9/2/en

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What is a wavelet? From a seismic processor’s point of view, a wavelet is one of the basic building blocks used to construct the seismic models on which seismic-processing methods are based. In the various processing steps, the wavelets are removed from the seismic data to yield the final sections. Correct estimation and/or measurement of the wavelets allows the good results that are expected in any exploration program. The wavelet is a basic concept, and good wavelet estimation is fundamentally important in exploration geophysics.
